PLEASE make sure you have someone contact me or put it on OCF or facebook, anything to let us know you are ok. I know you will be in the hospital for a while and may not be able to contact anyone so set this up now with a family member. Maybe one of your grandchildren wouldnt mind checking in once in a while with info. You have many many friends here who all love you and worry so please dont leave us in the dark. Hope everything goes as planned and that you have a fast, pain free recovery!!!
